UPDATE: Erick Erickson links to a piece by Rep. Dan Burton (R-IN) in Human Events. As they say, read the whole thing. It’s just another example of how Obama is continuing the “revolution”, doing everything he can to destroy the previous administration. Original post: I realize that there are a lot more pressing items to discuss, but this has been floating around in my head | Read More »
Just when you thought the left couldn’t sink any lower, they can surprise even me. I moved to NW Arkansas 6 months ago. For over 45 years, I lived in the Chicago suburbs. I knew Chicago Mayor Richard M. “Shortshanks” Daley* had been making a push to bring the 2016 Summer Olympics to Chicago for quite awhile. Like so many of those that still live | Read More »
The tea parties, town hall protests, and the huge September 12th gathering in Washington D.C. were remarkable not only because of the numbers of people involved, but because they were peaceful. Even leftist SEIU thuggery didn’t incite the violence that Obama-worshiping hacks keep complaining about. As a comparison, the usual suspects of anti-capitalist leftist nuts attempted to protest beyond where their permits allowed and a | Read More »
From the BBC: The Iraqi journalist who threw his shoes at former US President George W Bush says he was tortured by senior government officials while in jail. Well, who did it? Shortly after his release from nine months in a Baghdad prison, Muntadar al-Zaidi demanded an apology – and said he would name the officials later. Ah, those people. The dreaded “people to be | Read More »
Obese beta-male Michael Moore has a new film out called “Capitalism: A Love Story”. The end of the film, according to this piece by Reuters, states the following: “Capitalism is an evil, and you cannot regulate evil,” the two-hour movie concludes. “You have to eliminate it and replace it with something that is good for all people and that something is democracy.” As you can | Read More »
I’ve been following along with the saga of President Obama’s “Green Czar”, someone who can’t define what a “green” job is (nor can anyone else), the self-avowed Communist Van Jones. The push to get him removed has done much to further put on display Obama’s past and present associations with outright radicals, and showing Obama to be as unserious as any of these people who | Read More »
Remember this video? This was shot when then-Gov. Sarah Palin went to Kuwait in 2007 to visit her state’s National Guard troops. The AP has a story today about Palin. Here’s the opening paragraph [emphasis mine]: Former U.S. vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, once questioned about her lack of foreign policy experience, will make her first trip to Asia in September. The last I checked, | Read More »
Bud Fox: I guess you’re a decorator? Darien Taylor: You got it. A great spender of other people’s money. To me, there exists nowhere a more apt description of the legacy of modern-day, left-wing “liberalism”, statism (H/T: Mark Levin), as preached by the late Ted Kennedy than in this quote from Oliver Stone’s Wall Street. Whether he was personally generous is something I don’t know, | Read More »
This is stunning: The Justice Department recently questioned military defense attorneys at Guantanamo Bay about whether photographs of CIA personnel, including covert officers, were unlawfully provided to detainees charged with organizing the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, according to sources familiar with the investigation. How much screaming from the left did we hear about the “treason” committed by members of the Bush administration after covert agent | Read More »
Katrina Browne is a filmmaker. Apparently, her ancestors were Yankee slave traders (from Rhode Island). Because of her liberal guilt, America must continue its never-ending apologies to African-Americans for slavery. One of the things that is amazing to me about those on the left is that they will mention the Civil War in passing when discussing slavery, then move on to Jim Crow. Browne does | Read More »
Many Christians are well aware of the concept of original sin. Apparently, those who practice the religion of Anthropogenic Climatism have decided to hijack that concept and redefine “original sin”: Ancient man may have started global warming through massive deforestation and burning that could have permanently altered the Earth’s climate, according to a new study by researchers at the University of Virginia and the University | Read More »
This isn’t a big story but is highly amusing. John Mackey is the co-founder and CEO of Whole Foods Market, Inc. The other day, Mr. Mackey penned an op-ed that showed up in the Wall Street Journal; his piece was critical of the notion of a new health care entitlement from the government while offering some ideas he believes could work better (I’m sure Mackey’s | Read More »
As has already been reported, Iowa’s Supreme Court unanimously overturned a law defining marriage as a union between one man and one woman, thus granting same-sex couples to get “married”. The left defines this as a huge victory for “civil rights” and in the cause of “marriage equality”, and they proudly proclaim how the court followed the Constitution. There is a mention in the ruling | Read More »
How many remember this: (Source) Since Carter, every Democratic President and Democratic Presidential candidate has targeted the Department of Defense for major cuts in spending in order to make a claim at being fiscally responsible, even though they also want to be seen as serious about the nation’s security. Usually, like the hapless Michael Dukakis, they show themselves to be pure hypocrites and are rejected | Read More »
I hate racial classification. Let me take that back. I hate racial classification as it is done here in the United States. Why? Two reasons: 1) we’re all Americans; and, 2) the left controls racial classification. The first reason is pretty self-explanatory. But with that second reason, the left has been allowed to decide what the classifications will be. And if you think I’m kidding, | Read More »
What a despicable creature our new Attorney General is [emphasis mine]: “Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial we have always been and continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards,” said Holder, nation’s first black attorney general. Race issues continue to be a topic of political discussion, Holder said, but “we, | Read More »
President Obama is scheduled to sign (or already has signed) Porkulus. Three Senate liberal Republicans, Collins, Snowe, and Specter, let it happen. But so did another key vote, Democrat Roland Burris, Obama’s tainted replacement to be the U.S. Senator from Illinois. As I had mentioned here, Burris voted for both versions that passed the Senate last week. You may ask, so what? A new twist | Read More »
For fascism to work, there is a step-by-step process implemented to get people to buy into it. Step 1, lie. Melissa McEwan of Shakesville supports the Fairness Doctrine, and is doing what she can to get it reinstated (she wants Congress to do the job, even though politicians would rather keep their hands “clean” and have the FCC do it for them). To promote her | Read More »
A new twist has been added to the Roland Burris saga as our “illustrious” junior Illinois U.S. Senator conveeeeniently forgot to mention that he was hit up by Blago’s brother for a $10,000 campaign donation. Of course, Burris wouldn’t be a U.S. Senator if Democrats in Illinois, the U.S. Senate, and the White House hadn’t of caved on getting Burris installed by the corrupt and | Read More »
Here’s the roll, 246-183. Every Republican that voted went against it (176; 2 didn’t vote). A big thank you from me to John Boehner and Eric Cantor for lining up against this travesty, along with every other Republican (Rep. Price, Rep. Shaddeg, etc.) who presented the American people with all the ethically questionable activity by the Democrats in getting this bill passed, and for standing | Read More »
